When The Chef Couple chose 'Italian' & 'meat-n-potatoes' I LOL'd. They'd obviously watched the show, and were trying to avoid any adventurous surprises... good thinking! They still got anise in the greens, but it could've been worse. Tomato-PB-pasta, followed by wasabi-chocolate cake with eucalyptus foam, anyone?

Lastly: Hey Nikki? Remember when picking party pasta that tortellini should be your last choice. Oops, it actually was your last choice. Buh-bye.
